Newspaper Page Text2 A SPLIT ON' THE TARIFF. THE SENATE REPOBLICANB UN ABLE TO AGREE. The Finance Committee Decides to Divide on Party Lines and Prepare Separate Bills -The Republicans Will Have Two and the Democrats One Beady by Aug. 15. Washington-, May 29.—Senators Alli *on, Aldrich and Hiscock, with the assist ance cf all the republicans but Senator Sherman, and all the democrats but Sena tor Vance, executed a counter coup d'etat just before the adjournment of the finance committee this morning that made Senator Sherman’s steady brain whirl. In two days’ work the whole committee have disposed of just four of the 126 pages of the McKinley bill, leaving out all possi ble hearings. This indica ed that it would be nearly two months before the bill could be reported with amendments or substitute to the Senate. With the bearings which would almost certainly be granted it seemed likely to be quite three months before it could be reported. HAD BEGUN TO TALK OF A RECESS. The republicans were beginning to talk of a recess of congress from July Ito Oct. 1 to give the finance committee a chance to perfect a bill or bills The whole subject seemed likely to go over until the next ses sion without action. Now the democrats, want a bill passed—the McKinley bill, if possible—as ihe true measure of the repub lican majority. Hence, when tuey saw where {Senator Sherman’s slow system would come out, even at the rate of ten hours work a day, including Decoration day, as Senator Sherman proposed, they very willingly assented to Senator His cock’s proposition to divide into subcom mittee, according to politics and prepare separate bills, which Senators Allison and Aldrich warmly advocated to save time. A WASTE OF TIME. “The present method,” said Senator Car lisle to the committee, “is simply a waste of time. Let us divide in committee as we shall divide in t: e house and each side pre pare its own bill and get it into the Senate as quickly as possible. The county wants action on this question. It does not want it kept hanging all summer.” Senator Sherman had no argument to bring against this except the assertion that his ■way was after all the shorter way if the committee would only work holidays and ten hours everv day. But this did not eveu bold Se ator Morrill, who had helped him upset Senators Allison and Aldrich on Tuesday. When the vote was taken Sena tor Sherman stood alone on his own side. Senator Vance was the only democrat who voted with him. EFFECT OF THE DECISION. The reversal of the committee’s action means the passage this session of a tariff bill, and a prolongation of the session to that end. Three bills are to be reported from the finance committee—the McKinley bill, supported possibly by Senator Sher man; the committee bill, prepared by Sen ators Allison and Aldrich, mak.ng consid erable reductions, and a bill to be prepared by Senator Carlisle for the democrats un less the latter should decide to content themselves with a minority report. Whatever reports are made, the Senate will adopt a substitute for the McKinley bill, for the republicans of the Senate are hopele.-sly divided on it, and the matter will finally be settled in conference committee. ome timo before Aug. 15. Mean while. Se ator Sherman will be on the war pat a to trip up the agile Allison aud Aldrich. DETAILS OF THE COMMITTEE FIGHT. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, May 29.—A full attend ance of members of the Senate finance com mittee was present this morning when the tariff bill was taken up for consideration. Mr. Carlisle took his seat at the foot of the democratic side of the table, and entered into the discussion with earnestness. Mr. Sherman, in the opening, suggested that the committee take up the bill in par agraphs, and either pass them for future action or agree to them as they stood in the bill as it passed the House. This was agreed to, with the understanding that auy par agraph which was agreed to might be re called for further action. The firs; schedule is the chemical sched ule, and before entering upon that Mr. Aldrich suggested that it would be well to decide whether or not the committee would agree to recommend free alcohol in the arts, for it was the opinion of the committee that If that should be done it would affect the rates on other items in the schedule. NOT TO COMB IN FREE. After a brief discussion it was voted not to recommend free alcohol in the arts. The text ot the chemical schedule was then gone over and thirty-eight items ■wei e checked off. Of these, however, thir teen of the most important were passed over without action. The committee had in this way disposed of 4 of the 12ti pages of the measure when the hour of 12 o’clock ar rived. and the question of a future meeting was broached. Air. Sherman moved that the committee meet to-morrow (Memorial day) and continue its work. This wus dis agreed to without discussion. Mr. Sherman, in speaking on the subject, advocated daily sessions of ten hours’du ration in order to complete the bill for re port to the Senate at the earliest practicable nay. This suggestion met with opposition from both sides. CARLISLE OBJECTS TO WASTING TIME. Mr. Carlisle said he wanted to be entirely frank on this subject. While per fectly willing to sit ten hours a day discussing the bill, he be lieved it would be a waste of time. All the time the committee had so far spent on the measure he believed to have been wasted by reason of the conditions under which it was proceeding. Mr. Voorhees stated that the place for discussion upon the tariff bill was in the Senate, and he coincided with Mr. Carlisle in his views. The Republican party, he 6aid, wanted a tariff bill constructed on the lines of protection; the Democratic party wanted a bill on the lines of revenue. The way to do was for a majority of the repub lican members of the committee to agree upon their bill, and the democrats to do the same, if in their judgment the report of a minority measure was deemed desirable. AN AGREEMENT REACHED. Messrs. Hiscock, Jones and Morrill spoke in a similar strain, and then Mr. Hiscock moved that a subcommittee on each side be appointed to prepare such schedules as would be advocated by its party on the floor of the Senate; that the republican sub committee, as fast as it prepared its sched ules, should submit them to the democratic subcommittee, and the latter furnish its schedule to the republ can subcommittee. This plan was adopted, Messrs. Sherman and Vance voting in the negative. The question of giving oral hearings was discussed briefly, but without conclusion, •o that the former action of the committee adveise to hearings still stands. The changes that were made in the chem ical schedule by the committee to-day were all reductions. They were proposed by the republicans, and supported by the solid dem ocratic vote and the vote of the member making the motion. None of them were of any significance. GETTING RIGHT DOWN TO WORK. This afternoon the republican members of the committee met and continued their consideration of the chemical schedule, making considerable progress. They will meet again Saturday. It was decided to grant a hearing to the representatives of ,n ?J?°T te , rs next Tuesday. All open hearings will be before the full committee; but noue will be grant© t except in special cases by a formal vote of the committee. The Democratic members of the commit tao will not formulate a bill, but will ex press tfcair views in a report upon the schedules prepared by the republican mem -1 bert, wbicn will be furnished the minority ) as fast as completed, in order that there I may be no unnecessary delay m reporting the measure to the Senate.

The report showed wonderful growth of the society in tne past year, and recommended certain changes in the con stitution of the organization. At its con clusion Rev. Dr. Mclntosh delivered an address on "The Making of an Ulsterman.” It was first intended to have Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge of Kentucky deliver the first oration after the welcoming addresses, but he did not reach here In time. To-night l’rof. Arthur L. Perry, who fills the chairs of hist Ty and political economy at Wili ams’ college, made an historical address on the “Scotch-Irish in New Eng land.” Prof. Perry was followed by Rev. Dr. D. C.

Montgomery, Ala., May 29.— The democratic convention met at 10 o’clock this morning, but as the committee on credentials was not ready to report a recess was taken until 4 o’clock this afternoon. The double delega tions from three counties involved the ex amination of a number of witness and argu ments on both sides. Cnilton county was disposed of by the two delegations dividing the votes. This gave Chilton representa tion, and when the convention reas sembled only ;two counties were unrepre sented. ANTI-KOLB MEN AHEAD. The committee on credentials made a report seating what is known as the anti- Kolb delegation from Lee county. The minority of the committee made a report iu favor of seating the Kolb men. That brought up the question of Kolb and anti- Kolb, and the majority report was adopted by forty majority. The committee then reported in favor of seating the anti-Kolb delegates from Shelby, and the minority made a report iu favor of seating the Kolb delegation. The majority report was accepted. This shows an unmissable majority of the convention against Kolb of not less than fifty and prob ably more. Three ballots were taken for governor. All stood about the same, viz.: Kolb Johnston . jO4 Ricnardson. gs Crook .." [53 Jones 45 The majority rule prevails and 264 votes are required. The convention adjourned until to-morrow morning.

The following (>aper was sent to-night to Attorney General Earle at Sumter: The present political situation in South Caro lina makes it an absolute necessity (hat one of the strongest, best and most available of our citizens be urged to become a candidate for gov rnor. Many of the b st citizens in different sections of the state, realizing this, nave sent in their urgent request asking Attorney General Earle to become a candidate for that office.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1890. EAST POINTS RIOT CASES. FULTON'S SOLICITOR GIVES THEM UP IN DISGUST. The Failure to Convict the Two Men First on Trial Proof Positive That None of the Others Could be Con victed—Other News of the Day at Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., May 29.—W. P. Hill, acting solicitor of this circuit in the absence of C. D. Hill, who is now in Europe, has had ail the indictments against the East Point rioters quashed. This was done be cause both E. C. Bruffey and Dan Hall were acquitted, and there was no evidence of a more positive nature to be produced against the eight other alleged whippers, against wlfom true bills had been found. In all there were seventy of these bills, seven against each of the ten accused. The real inwardness of the East Point whipping outrage will perhaps never be fully known. Evidently public sentiment outside of offi cial circles was not importunately strong in favor of bringing the whippers to justice. ALL WERE HOT AT FIRST. In the first flush of excitement several member s of the House of Representatives, it will be remembered, advocated the pas sage of strong condemnatory resolutions, but the proposition was not supported. Many private persons who at that time expressed great indignation over the affair have since grown to look upon it differently, and there was no hope of convicting any one of the rioters. Clifford Ansley, a prom inent real estate man who is said to have known more of the affair from the stand point of a mere observer than any one who has yet been induced to tell, appeared in the city to-day, having just returned from Central America, where he has been engaged in railroading for several months. EX-ALDERMAN GRAMLING’S FUNERAL. The funeral of ex-Alderman John R. Gramling took place this afternoon. The services at Trinity church were conducted by Revs. Glenn, Heidt, Morrison and Bar nett. The interment was made at Oakland cemetery. TIPSY MEN SUSPECTED OF THEFT. A number of young white men got on a spree last night and were locked ud for drunkenness and fighting among them selves. At midnight it was found that H. F. Emory’s ice house had been broken into and several kegs of beer removed. An inadvertent remurk from one of the tipsy crow! connected them, in the minds of the police, with the beer burglary, and they are now being held, not as revelers, but as thieves. the congressional convention. The executive committee of the Fifth congressional district to-day decided to meet in the Senate chamber of the capitol June 12, to fix the date for holding the con vention to nominate a congressional candi date for this district. The following reso lution was passed: Whereas, The Hon. R. A. Massey, a member of the committee from the county of Douglas, has departed his life since his appointment as a member of said committee, it is the request of the members of the committee that the Demo cratic party of Douglas county appoint some suitable citizen of said county, in the place of the deceased member, to represent the county in this committee on June 12 next at Atlanta.

The Postponement of the League Con vention Indorsed. Lincoln, Neb., May 29.— President John Fitzgerald of the Irish National League re ceived the following cablegram this after noon: London, Slay 29, 1890. Your action postponing the convention has my entire approval, and it the cablegram had reached me iu time I should have advised the recent meeting of council. Parnell. President Fitzgerald is in constant com munication with the Irish leader, and is earnestly urging the necessity of a conven tion of the American league. Mr. Parnell expresses the fulltst confi dence in the loyalty of the present natio al officers, but the attacks upon the organiza tion are causing him grave anxiety, because he fears that it is the aim of others in the country to try and get the leagu i entirely under their control for objects not favora ble to the Irish cause. President Fitzgerald is trying to convince the Irish leaders that while the factionists may be noisy they are iu a small minority of Ireland’s friends in America. He hopes to be able at au early date to name a definite time for the con vention. A Cardinal’s Attack. London, May 39.— Cardinal Manning, in the Contemporary Review, denounces gov ernment endowing of pin.beans. OYCLONIC DISTURBANCE. High W Inds and a Heavy Fainfall Pre dicted for To-Day. The yellow pennant floated all day yester day from the flagstaff of the signal service office, warning the people that a storm of some severity was working this way, and the day was cold, windy and generallv dis agreeable, and so uncomfortable at Tybee that many who attended the picnic of the Wesley Monumental church on the island came home on tne early afternoon train at 4 o’clock. The sea was rough, and thundered on the beach, and the wind blow great guns. A cyclone developed in the eastern gulf night before last, and the cyclonic disturb ance was central in North Florida last night, and moving slowly northeastwardly. The wind attained a velocity of t,wenty-six miles at Jacksonville and Pensacola last night and yesterday, and a heavy rainfall is reported th onguout Florida. Six inches of water fell a: Point Jupiter, and 4ji inches at Jacksonville. No casualties are reported. Sava inah is on the edge of the wave, and strong easterly winds, of probably twenty five miles velocity, and heavy rains are pre dicted for Savannah and vicinity to-day. Tne temperature will be below the normal. After the cyclonic disturbance moves farther east, warmer weather will ensue, but choppy weather may be expected dur ing the greater part of the day. The strong east and northeast winds yes terday backed up the water ana the tides were very high, covering all the marshes, and there will be high tides to-day. It is not known whether the lower rice fields will be affected by the backing up of the salt water, but it is believed that it has been kept out of the rice fields, as no com plaint was reported by the rice planters last night. RAIL AND CROSSTIE. The Westinghouse Air Brake Company now has orders in advance for 25,000 sets of brakes. Both the works in Allegheny and at Wilmerding are running. At Wilraerd ing 2,40.) molds a day are cast. Of these 25,000 air brakes 1,000 are for the Baltimore and Ohio. Another 1,000 are for the Soo line, and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul has a large order. One thousand more are being manufactured for the Indianapolis Car Company, and are to be used on coal cars for the Choctaw Railway and Mining Company, in the Indian Territory. A Stickler for Etiquette. Fi om the Pittsburg Dispatch. In the insane asylum at Kankakee, 111, they have what the attendants call a “de sirable lunatic.” A visitor took dinner re cently at one of the tables set apart for “mild cases.” During the progro-s of the meal a patient at ano li r table arose, carefully deposited his napkin at the side of his plate, and, walking over to the next table, caught another patient with a powerful upper cut under the ear. “There!” he cried, “that’ll teach you bet ter than to eat with your knife.” In a moment more the aggressor was seized by alert attendants and hurried away to his own room. It was explained that this was his one hallucination. He became wild whenever he saw a mau eating with his knife. TROUBLESOME LITTLE JOCK& The Corruption of the Jockies one of the uncertainties of Racing. From the Brooklyn Eagle. The trouble with the jociues has begun unusually early this year. It is always difficult for me to understand why the boys do not behave themselves better in view of the great opportunities offered them by the rapid development of racing recently. Au ig .orant stable boy,if be has any knowledge of a horse, can make more money than the majority of college bred professional men. If the lad has any special degree of skill in riding he can run his income up to $15,000 or $20,000 a year. The trouble is that the first success, as a rule, turns the boy’s head, so that he needs the closest sort of watching and espionage from that time on. The jockey who attracts attention by reason of his clever riding is as sure of an approach from the bookmakers’ satellites as he is of an offer of superior mounts. The corruption of the jockey is often counted in as one of the glorious un certainties of racing. The boys do not go at their work seriously. Probably they make their money too easily. The amount of hero worship to which they are subjected at times is amusing. The’spectacle of a little negro jockey with a very big cigar in his mouth, a profusion of diamonds scat tered over his somewhat meager person, strolling about, while groups of overdressed and worshipful sporting men surrounded him, is a common one in New York. - ♦ Burned the Bat That Gnawed His Clothes. Antonio Martino, a sinister-looking Ital ian, was a prisoner at the Tombs police court, says the New York Tribune, charged with the unusual offense of roasting a rat to death. He lives at No. 40 Mulberry street, and surprised the other inhabitants of the house by setting fire to a huge rat, which he had saturated with benzine, while it was confined in a trap in the yard of the build ing. When the blaze had enveloped the rat completely, Martino opened the door of the trap and the animal made several wild cir cuits of the yard before finally dropping lifeless. The cremation was perfect, for the blaze continued until only a few ashes re mained of the rat. Martino was arrested soon afterward. He grinned in a self-satis fied fa-hion when an aigned before Justice O'Reilly, and seemed proud of his act. “You’re charged with setting fire to an animal,” said the magistrate. “What have you to say V “Mea burua rat, yah,” replied the cul prit. “He eat up my suita clo’ and I ketcha him, and lite him up.” “He devoured your clothes?” asked Jus tice McMahon. “ Yab, i:ewa suita clo’. an’ I buy trap and ketcha him.” “Five hundred dollars bail to answer in special ses-i .ns,” said the justice, and he told the officer to send word of the case to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Martino went to his cell laughing broadly. SYRUP OF FIGS.
